Chasing Cars
How many times do we fail to say what we really feel? How many times do we allow our insecurities and fears to shut us up? Or do we let the weight of life fall on our shoulders, blind our eyes preventing us from seeing what really matters? Our time with the people we love is short. And when he's gone, only one question remains: Did you really do all you could?

“Read this story with lots of chocolate, headphones, a bottle of water and some tissues because you're going to need them!! This story, besides being very beautiful and inspiring, also teaches you a lot of things (which you will only know if you read it, so read it!). I confess that I never read a Luna story in which I don't get emotional, and this was certainly the one that moved me the most. It's beautiful from start to finish, full of details (pay attention!) and valuable lessons. If you, like me, are passionate about a good story, rest assured that this is one of them. You will fall in love not only with this one, but certainly with all the others that this author has already written (I speak with knowledge of the facts). Now go ahead, read this one (and all the others) very carefully and then check if what I said is not true! Oh, and you're welcome! DON’T FORGET TO HYDRATE, HUH?”

Há três anos, o mundo de Oliver Queen desmoronou. Para salvar o legado da família da ruína e resgatar sua mãe e irmã do luto, Oliver sacrificou tudo: seu tempo, seus sonhos e no fim, a mulher que amava. Agora sozinho em seu escritório enquanto a cidade celebra o Natal, Oliver receberá uma visita que o forçará a enfrentar os fantasmas de suas escolhas. O Passado lhe trará o eco de um riso que ele nunca esqueceu. O Presente revelará o peso da sua ausência. E o Futuro lhe mostrará seu maior pesadelo. Depois de abdicar de tudo, ainda haverá tempo para Oliver salvar a si mesmo?
"I was raised to follow in my father's footsteps, to be as good a man as he once was. To conquer all his dreams so prematurely interrupted. Before I even spoke or walked, my bright future was already planned. everyone was on me. Some eager for me to fail the first hurdle, others just curious if I would make it as far as Robert Queen. But I felt like something was missing from my perfect world. Something that was presented to me the day my eyes dared to stray in another direction, other than the one I had been taught to always follow. My heart dared to want something for itself. Someone who made it beat faster, who filled it with chaos and life. and made all the daily monotony disappear. Everyone said that Felicity Smoak shouldn't be part of my dreams, but then why was she the one I always saw next to me when I closed my eyes?"
For Oliver and Felicity, Christmas is an emotionally difficult time. No matter how hard they try, one of them will always get hurt. But this year, when a simple request is made to Santa Claus, everything could change. Hearts can surrender. Lives can come together. As soon as the first snowflake falls.
"I didn't know if what she offered me was serious, would renting her heart cost me just a smile? Part of me said it was foolish, that I should get up from this bench and go home to face my problems like the man who I was, that this girl, who infected me with her easy smile and happy look, was just a nutcase with nothing more useful to do than annoy me and the other part... That part found itself responding, first with the outline of a smile that was the required payment and then with the words I never thought would ever leave my lips..."
Felicity Smoak hadn't expected to see Oliver Queen again, not after being dumped by him so soon before their wedding. As the strong woman that she was, it only took a few bowls of ice cream and her older sister's shoulder to get over him, so she had completely and undeniably forgotten about her ex, only to find herself stuck with him years later. Literally. What to do when her ex becomes not only a suspect in her investigation, but also her personal hell? How to deal with the old feelings that she believed had been left behind?
“Dear future husband, I don't know you yet, but Mom told me that in about twenty years I'll meet you and that I need to make sure you're the right person before I give you my heart. That's why I'm writing you this letter, so that you know exactly what to do to deserve it..."
